Players' lorry topple horror

A winning football team's celebration parade turned to horror when their makeshift open-top bus toppled over. Spectators were left shocked after the lorry they were standing in tipped over in Brazil.

Dramatic eyewitness video caught the moment the truck fell on to its side - sending terrified players flying.



The footage shows the vehicle slowly moving along a Brazilian street as they are cheered by watching fans. Celebrating players waved to the crowds and jumped up and down in the trailer.

But their joy turns to terror when it slowly tips over on to a bank. The players are left writhing in pain as onlookers rush to their aid. Local authorities said 29 people were left injured after the accident.
